104 PRECINCT BLOTTER

After a 14-month probe, law
enforcement agents busted
up a large-scale cocaine and
marijuana peddling ring in Queens,
leading to the arrest of 10 individuals
on related charges, prosecutors
announced on Tuesday.
Each defendant was charged with
criminal possession of a controlled
substance, with some charged with
criminal possession of a weapon.
Hermes Bermudez, 40, of Rego Park
was among the arrested suspects.
The others, as announced by acting
District Attorney John Ryan, include
Queens Village’s Marcus Thomas,
41, Cashuwell Bradley, 30, Abraham
Aessa, 38, Sergio Pettiford, 36, of
Queens Village and Jonathan Francis,
36; Jamaica’s Joseph Husbands, 64,
and Gary Harris, 54; and Brooklyn’s
Earnest Charles Jr., 44.
A tenth defendant, 38-year-old Noel
Mackenson of Queens Village, pleaded
guilty to criminal possession of a
controlled substance on March 20.
As part of the probe, law enforcement
agents executed search warrants at 12
residences in Queens and Brooklyn
and recovered fi ve fi rearms, more
than 400 grams of cocaine, more
than 11 pounds of marijuana and
approximately $264,000 in cash.
“A morning wake-up call by the
police resulted in the seizure of
both drugs and illegal fi rearms and
the arrest of 10 individuals bent
on profiting by allegedly selling
poison on our neighborhood streets,”
said Ryan.
According to charges, the NYPD’s
Narcotics Borough Queens South
and the Queens District Attorney’s
Narcotics Investigations Bureau
began investigating a crew of alleged
drug dealers in January of 2018.
Throughout the course of their
investigation, which utilized
techniques such as intercepting
telephone calls, GPS location
monitoring and surveillance, police
arrested Aessa, Pettiford, Husbands,
Harris, Mackenson and Francis.
Charles, Bermudez, Bradley and
Thomas were arraigned on March 21.
The criminal complaint states that
each defendant possessed and sold
narcotics in Queens County. Using
a court-authorized eavesdropping
warrant, police overheard the
defendants discuss buying drugs,
distributing narcotics and advancing
the organization in an eff ort to make
more money.
Each defendant is being held on
bail ranging from $25,000 to $150,000,
with Harris being released on his
own recognizance.
If convicted, the defendants face
between one and 15 years in prison.
